I'm trying to find anyone who knows anything about producing several indoor and outdoor panoramas for a Dude Ranch here in Tulsa. I know how to create them in photoshop CS5, however, I have no clue when it comes to how to create a flash, java, silverlight, etc file to store them in so they can put the file on their website. The idea is that they can have a 360 degree view of Cabin 1, 2, etc.

Does anyone know of a method of doing this before I take the gig? I'll likely just use the 17-40 (or 16-35 ii if I upgrade by then) on a 5Dii, though I'll be renting the 8-15 fisheye for a fun wedding in early June and can toy with that if it is recommended.

I can't think why one would want to use a wide angle lens with it's native, curvature distortion. What then? Correct the curvature of each image in post, then stitch them together? Sounds like a lot of work.

I'd think to shoot more frames with a more natural perspective, such as a 40 mm or 50 mm, stitching those together would allow for a more natural perspective, the multiple frames get you the wide viewing angle natural to a panorama.

I just assumed the 17-40 would be the best option since it's what I have used several times before. I am interested in experimenting with a different set up as you've suggested, and will likely first try the 35L. Thank you very very much for your input. I'm looking into your link now.
